Chapter 129: Changing Face
“???”
Holding "Caged Bird", he paused on the chair behind his desk,
Editor-in-chief Qian is full of question marks.
"Caged Bird" first printed 30,000,
A total of more than 10,000 copies were taken from several online channels.
At the beginning, there were too many goods in various channels, and they couldn't be sold out for a while, and it was still the editor-in-chief of Qian who took a lot of money to store the goods.
There are thousands of goods in one channel of those online channels.
Yesterday, the day before yesterday, an online channel sold an average of only a few hundred copies, right?
Which online channel is out of stock?
Lao Tao is so righteous, and he asked for a good publicity resource,
The work has been word-of-mouth and exploded on the Internet in just one or two days?
"Caged Bird" won an award?
It's not right, the past few awards have not yet been announced.
Editor-in-Chief Qian's mind is full of all kinds of random ideas kept popping out,
And then I listened to the editor shouting outside, and I didn't see anyone coming in.
Editor-in-chief Qian was a little helpless, so he could only stand up and leave the office by himself.
Out of the office,
It's the work area of some other publishing house editors, staff,
Huating Publishing House is not large, there are only about a dozen employees in total, and the working area is not very large.
Sometimes editors also work part-time as marketers.
As soon as he came out of the office, the editor-in-chief Qian saw that the editor was facing the computer, his face was flushed, and he couldn't do it excitedly.
“…… Editor-in-Chief Qian, Editor-in-Chief Qian, come and see...... Online channels allow for the replenishment of "Caged Bird". ”
“…… I'm here, don't howl, which channel is it for restocking? ”
Editor-in-Chief Qian asked, and looked down at the computer in front of the editor, which was a chat interface with several online bookseller channels.
“…… All. ”
"What's that?"
Originally, the editor-in-chief of Qian thought that some readers were buying in a certain online store, resulting in a single store being out of stock.
The results told him that a total of more than 10,000 copies from several online channels was not enough.
“…… It's Chengmen Bookstore, Bell Bell, Reading Fun...... These bookstores have restocked, saying that the goods that have been sold in the past are about to bottom out, and all the stocks may be emptied in the evening. ”
The editor said excitedly.
But does Editor-in-Chief Qian want to hear this, can he not know which ones are the online channel stores?
“…… I'm asking you, why did sales skyrocket so much, it only sold more than 1,000 yesterday, and it sold 10,000 today, even the word-of-mouth fermentation didn't ferment so fast. ”
Editor-in-chief Qian also felt a little inexplicable.
Although he believed that the quality of the book would explode sooner or later, it would explode at this moment, which was a bit too inexplicable.
This made the editor a little dazed.
He was still replying to the news with several channel booksellers just now, how could he check why the sales of "Caged Bird" suddenly exploded.
“…… This seems to be the reason. ”
At this time, a slightly younger editor next to him stood up with his mobile phone.
Pointing the phone screen at the editor-in-chief of Qian,
Editor-in-Chief Qian couldn't help but lean over and look,
The page displayed on the mobile phone is very familiar to him, and it was because of the promotional resources of "Caged Bird" that he went to see the first reading APP the day before.
But when he first read the movement, he couldn't understand it.
"The dog author's new book "Caged Bird" has been published, and the reward for "Seven Days of Hell" is 1 million yuan."
"Caged Bird" is a new book by the dog author, and the reward for "Seven Days of Hell" is 10 million yuan."
Several tipping banners floated over one after another,
I can see that the editor-in-chief seems to understand, but he doesn't seem to understand.
"Seven Days of Hell" he knew that it was a very good science fiction book on the Internet, which was later published by Lao Tao's publishing house, and he also read it.
Can he still not know "Caged Bird"......
But looking at the news, Mr. Bugong doesn't seem to be a new author, it seems to be an old author who is somewhat famous.
Now the vest has fallen off, bringing a large number of readers to Caged Bird?
"Editor-in-Chief Qian, it turns out that "Caged Bird" was written by the dog author, and Mr. Bugong is the dog author...... Well, the dog author is the author of the book "Seven Days of Hell", and readers call him the dog author. ”
It can be seen that this young editor seems to be a reader of Ji Zhuo, and his face is a little excited when he speaks, and he seems to be afraid that Editor-in-Chief Qian still doesn't understand, so he also explained a few more words to Editor-in-Chief Qian.
"Since the completion of his last book, "The Shepherd Boy Seeks Immortals", he has not moved on any new books. It wasn't until today that he posted a single chapter saying that his new book was "The Caged Bird"
"The readers of the dog author have been holding back for more than a month, and they are all a little suffocated, and when they saw the new book of the dog author being released, they naturally all rushed over."
"Mr. Bugong is the author of "Seven Days of Hell"?"
"Uh-huh, yes!"
The young editor nodded sharply.
Editor-in-Chief Qian was infected by the emotions of the young editor, and he was also a little excited.
I said, "Caged Bird" is a sophisticated writer, no matter how you look at it, it is not a newcomer.
Sure enough, it was my discerning eye that I could see at a glance that this author was extraordinary!
But you're the author of "Seven Days of Hell", why didn't you talk about it earlier...... This must not be shown off with Lao Tao...... Ha ha......
“…… But why did he use a new account to release a new book? ”
Looking at the excited appearance of this young editor, coupled with the fact that Editor-in-Chief Qian himself has also watched "Seven Days of Hell",
Naturally, there is some understanding of the readership base of the 'dog author'.
What is the need to open a pen name and publish a book?
Is it difficult to get along with book sales, or to have a grudge against readers......
“…… Maybe you want the reader to like the book because of the book itself, rather than because of its influence? ”
The young editor also said with some confusion.
And Editor-in-Chief Qian couldn't help but glance at him, a little angry......
But after thinking about it, those who engage in literary and artistic creation are a little stubborn, and it is normal to be stubborn.
This editor's words seem to be a bit possible.
Shook his head.
I can't figure it out, but there's no need to think about it.
Just need to know that "Caged Bird" exploded in advance!
Thinking about it, Editor-in-Chief Qian was a little excited again.
“…… The remaining more than 10,000 copies will be replenished to various channel providers. At the same time, notify the printing house to prepare for reprinting......"
"Editor-in-Chief Qian, how much is printed this time?"
"Print 100,000."
Editor-in-Chief Qian gritted his teeth, his publishing house is not as big as the Demon Capital Publishing House.
Printing so many books requires accumulating a lot of money.
However, he still knows a little about the sales of "Seven Days of Hell", which sold more than 100,000 copies in the first month, and then sold more than 100,000 more intermittently.
He didn't believe that the sales of "Caged Bird" could be worse than "Seven Days of Hell".
It's a big deal that because the publicity is not in place, it won't sell so much in the first month, but 100,000 copies will definitely be sold in a month or two!
"Okay, Editor-in-Chief Qian, I'll contact the publishing house."
The editor didn't ask much and nodded in response.
Editor-in-Chief Qian nodded, turned around and walked back to the office,
The pace gradually became brisker, and I couldn't help but smile a little more on my face,
Haha, I've been publishing for so long, and I'm finally going to have another bestseller.
Although I have confidence in "Caged Bird", I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
And the author of "Caged Bird" turned out to be the author of "Seven Days of Hell"!
But......
Mr. Bugong didn't reveal his identity before,
Why did you suddenly take off your vest now......
Oh.,It seems that I used to call Mr. Don't work to help publicize it., if you can publicize it.,
But this propaganda is really ...... It's so useful, it's so amazing!
……
"Hiccup......
Ji Zhuo was in the house, standing on the balcony, facing the wind blowing in the gap outside the window, drinking with the wind.
Drinking Coke, touching his phone, looking at the messages that some people sent him.
"Squid: Big man, you're writing science fiction again! You're writing science fiction so wonderfully that people can't stop being immersed in it. ”
Looking at the message from this squid,
Ji Zhuo wanted to say that the previous "Seven Days of Hell" was not science fiction, but it didn't seem to be convincing.
So he raised his hand and poured a coke and replied with a message.
"Clumsy and extraordinary: Well, thank you, the big guy is polite.
Squid: The big guy is polite, the big guy is polite. ”
The business exchanged two sentences, and Ji Zhuo continued to look at other people's news,
"300,000 per second: ......"
Don't look at the commotion in the readership, but the private chat sent by Yun Qingmu to Ji Zhuo was so silent,
Maybe it's because the previous chat history is on it,
Looking up again, Ji Zhuo was a little happy.
"Clumsy and extraordinary: Eh, I remember that you seemed to say that "Caged Bird" was better than my previous book, and that I was better than that. Eh, it seems to be right, thank you for the compliment. ”
"300,000 per second: ......"
Yun Qingmu gave Ji Zhuo a hard time.
Ji Zhuo's words are somewhat cheap.
"300,000 per second: you say that...... I'll just buy a copy of "Caged Bird" and read it with my sister! ”
Looking at this news, Ji Zhuo was a little disappointed,
There is no force in this danger.
It's better for Yun Qingmu to say that Ji Zhuo is like this again, and she will directly buy a thousand copies of the next book, which will be more deterrent to Ji Zhuo.
"Clumsy and Extraordinary: Oh ......"
"300,000 per second: By the way, it's been almost a while since you finished writing this book. Is the new book starting to be written? ”
"Clumsy and extraordinary:?"
No, have you finished watching "Caged Bird"? Started urging new books?
"300,000 per second: what kind of new book is it, do you plan to publish it or publish it on the Internet?"
"Clumsy and extraordinary: Master Yun, don't rush, don't rush!"
Looking at Ji Zhuo's news, a smile appeared on Yun Qingmu's face,
But immediately after, Ji Zhuo replied with two more messages, which made the smile on Yun Qingmu's face freeze,
"Clumsy and extraordinary: Hey, by the way, what subject matter you don't like, I'll write whatever subject matter I read the new book."
Sample, I can't stop you.
"300,000 per second: fantasy, science fiction, fairytale, fairy tale!"
Oh, woman, which of these types did you fall behind?
And the clouds are light and the two rounds of fighting,
Ji Zhuo's mood was much better, and then he looked down on other news,
There are non-ink editors who send pen and ink,
There are also publishers who send money editors.
"Bimo: You also wrote the book "Caged Bird"? I also watched it, it's interesting, it's pretty good.
Clumsy and extraordinary: Thank you for the compliment. ”
"Editor-in-Chief Qian of Huating Publishing: Mr. Bugong, it turns out that you are the author of "Seven Days of Hell", and I have also read your "Seven Days of Hell", and it is as good as "Caged Bird"!
Editor-in-Chief Qian: Thanks to your publicity, Mr. Bugong, the sales of "Caged Bird" have skyrocketed through various channels, and many booksellers have said that they have asked for restocking, and the publishing house is preparing to reprint 100,000 copies.
Big coincidence: Editor-in-chief Qian doesn't have to be so polite......"
A few messages were returned,
Ji Zhuo put down his mobile phone, looked out the window again, and drank Coke,
Then he slumped down on the couch and yawned again.
Very bored.
But the mind turns.
It seems like it's time to think about a new book.
After all, this "Caged Bird" is like this,
According to the current sales data, I am afraid that it will not be long before the 45,000 copies of the system's current mission target will be reached.
Maybe it's just two days? I don't know if I can make it through the end of the week.
So what's new?
Ji Zhuo couldn't help but start to think about it.
……
“…… Uncle Yu, there is news about the author's new book. ”
Yucheng, in the old man's house.
The nurse stood next to the old man, looked at the phone, and then looked at the old man and said aloud.
The old man, who was originally holding a blind cane in the house, paused and listened,
"The author posted a single-chapter announcement in the original old work, saying that the Caged Bird was his new work."
The nurse's words silenced the old man a little.
Naturally, he remembered that the nurse had mentioned the book to him the day before, and he asked him not to buy it.
But this time and that time......
The old man didn't speak, and the nurse continued.
"I've already helped Uncle Yu place an order online, and it should arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"If you're in a hurry, Uncle Yu, I can go to the bookstore outside and buy it. I heard that many bookstores also have stock. ”
"No need. I can still wait for a day or two. ”
The old man shook his head, then paused, and then said,
"When the book arrives, please help me read it."
Thinking of the contradictory words before, it's somewhat embarrassing,
But the old man's face was silent.
The nurse just smiled silently beside him, and then responded seriously.
"Okay, Uncle Yu."
"Hmm...... It should be nice weather today, so let's go for a walk. ”
"It's good, it's cloudy, it's a little windy, it's not too hot."
"Hmm."
……
The other side. Bustling city.
The son of the noodle shop owner, the boy has already finished school,
Hurried home,
Yesterday he ran to buy the book "Caged Bird", and he read a lot of pages that day, and he liked it very much.
I feel that the plot is very interesting.
Today in school, I heard someone mention that "Caged Bird" is a new book by the author of dogs.
And he was even happier.
Fortunately, he bought the book early yesterday, and if he goes to buy it again today, I'm afraid it will be out of stock.
As soon as he got home, the boy held the book and read it.
In the evening, his father, the owner of the noodle shop, came back and watched with him.
And on the other side of the city.
In the Yelinhan House.
Ye Linhan still felt a little uncomfortable at this time,
I can't go up or down the breath that I can't hold in my heart.
Originally, he made a bold guess that "Caged Bird" was a new book by the author of dogs.
As a result, at this time, the dog author himself announced...... He said that his previous speculation was a bit of an afterthought, and if he didn't say it, he was even more uncomfortable!
It would be good if the dog author sent a single chapter later.,At least let him say it in the group first.,
At least you can get a reputation as a 'big guy',
It would be nice if he could make the video and send it out!
As for now......
Ye Linhan just took a deep breath from time to time, afraid that he would be suffocated by the breath of his heart and have a heart attack.
By the way, all the 'enthusiasm' was vented on the production of the new video,
He is going to make a post-reading evaluation video of "Caged Bird",
He believes that he watched "Caged Bird" relatively early, and there must be many readers of dog authors who have not yet bought the book.
This wave of heat is timely for him...... But it's still a little uncomfortable to think about,
Obviously, he guessed that "Caged Bird" is a new book by the author of dogs.
Why...... Ahhh
Dog Author!
So at the end of the video, he couldn't help but add something similar to an afterthought, which also seemed to be self-deprecating,
“…… When I watched "Caged Bird", I didn't know that it was a new book by the dog author, but after reading it, I felt a little familiar, and compared it with the previous works of the dog author...... I've guessed that it might be when the dog author's new book is ready to tell you...... The dog author actually sent a single chapter......"
Finally said this sentence, Ye Linhan felt that the breath in his chest finally dissipated.
And then the video comments ushered in were naturally a piece of hahaha.
“…… Hahaha,Laugh to death,In addition to the testimonials of the dog author so far,I also sent two single chapters.,It's up the master who bumped into it.,It is recommended that up buy lottery tickets.。 ”
"I didn't read the book review, for fear of being spoiled, and the panicked appearance of the up master at the end made me laugh out loud, worthy of being the up master of the dog author area."
And then this video is on fire again.
